It’s really fun when two design enthusiasts get together and talk design, cars, planes and theme parks. Our host Robert Ross, decides to throw his best and most intriguing design questions toward an unsuspecting Eddie Sotto. What a match! What begins as in interview, turns into a relaxed and free-wheeling conversation that goes far beyond cars into theme parks, tequila tasting chairs and private jets, yet somehow lands on four wheels. Enjoy Sotto’s insights into everything from James Bond and his Aston Martin, to Ferrari and Fornasetti. There are always those Disney references too!
Since 1989, Robert Ross has been writing about art, design, audio, motorcycles, and especially cars—new and old. A lifelong enthusiast, Ross enjoys a few machines of his own—both contemporary and classic—but he especially values the people he’s met, and of course, the countless vehicles entrusted to him along the way. He has contributed stories to Robb Report magazine since 2001 and consults with companies in a diverse range of luxury segments. Ross is a native of Los Angeles, where he lives, works, and drives. A variety of interests beyond cars and bikes keep him busy, with collections that include tribal art, music, and lunatic-fringe audio gear. However, a passion for 15th century Old Master prints eclipses all others.
